Third Age Total Fitness

[brymht]

I have a really wacky way of playing Total War games. I actually built a desk around my treadmill, and am able to use my keyboard, mouse, and keep my monitor at eye level.

This age is by far my favorite because its the most immersive world for any total War game; excepting possibly EB; whose graphics are now so dated.

Honestly, even at high incline with a fast fast walk at high incline; if I'm directly a close battle I'll be so intent upon directing it I'll completely lose track of the treadmill. Hours will go by and I won't even realize it. Thiurd Age is that damn good.

I for one am setting a goal of losing 15 lbs when 2.0 is release.

Anyone else do any nutty multi tasking activities while playing Third Age or other TW mods? Please share while we wait.

This is actually one of the greatest ideas I've ever heard! Have fun and keep fit at the same time!

If I could do it I would probably do it with a cycling machine..only so I could sit down!

Probably one of the best ideas I ever heard Wii sports? I don't think so, this sound a lot better

Lol you should keep that bicycle powered to your computer and only put out a certain amount of watt from the cpu so you have to bike the rest. Let's say 1kilometer in 10 minutes. If you haven't done that your pc begins screaming it's low on power and if you fail to keep riding the bike your pc will shut down. Imagine doing THAT during a nice game. Talk about motivation lol.

It can be done better:



That is my 42" screen which is standing ~2 meters from my bed...
And yes I do have a wireless mouse and keyboard.
Yes the mouse does work perfectly on my bed.
Yes I am on my bed right now.

Now THAT'S gaming!

First thing I do when I enter my room: turn on tv and pick up the keyboard to start the music XD (Laptop is downloading/uploading 24/7)

I have a laptop with a mouse that also works perfectly on my bed, so as I play Third age on my laptop I can watch awesome films (such as LOTR EE) on my TV - and I only need raise/lower my eyes a little bit to see the other screen

Hmmm, this has got to be bad for me somehow.

i'm already fit enough but I do usually get up after every term and have a little aimless wonder about my house while the AI has it's go

[bazziman]

I kinda like the idea....now I'm off looking for a decent home trainer or spinning bike to put in my study.

[AgentGB]

I work out for an hour and a half a day in addition to thirty minutes of jogging at the local park three times a week. For how much I game, I have to do something to make sure I'm at my physical peak.

Good luck with your goal brymht, I'm sure you can do it.

+rep for quite an original thread, thats for sure

[Ba'alzamon]

I put my toes on my bed and do "Badger Push-Ups" where you go halfway down.........a half inch of the ground.........halfway up..........and up and thats 1 lol. All this is going on while I have my TV hooked up to my 62" HDTV downstairs playing. WOops I meant my PC hooked up to my TV. No big deal right? lol

My Little Pony? What the...

Nevermind, I don't care. OP, that's a nice idea you have there, I should do something similar for the painfully long wait time between turns in SS.
